This collection, the fourth module in the ISSP series,
contains data from Austria, the Federal Republic of Germany, Hungary,
Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Great Britain, and the United States.
Questions asked of respondents focused on the family and changing sex
roles. Respondents were asked for their views on women working outside
the home (especially working mothers), childcare arrangements and child
rearing practices, marriage, family structure and composition, and
divorce. Demographic data on respondents, such as age, sex, race,
ethnic identity, employment, income, marital status, education,
religion, political affiliation, voting behavior, trade union
membership, and household size, also were recorded. Information
gathered about each person in the household includes sex, age, and
relationship to the respondent.

Data were made available through the Zentralarchiv fuer
empirische Sozialforschung, Universitaet zu Koeln, from whom a printed
codebook (ZA-No. 1700) may be obtained. Records for Great Britain and
Austria have a weight variable that must be used in all analyses. No
weighting was done for the Federal Republic of Germany, the United
States, the Netherlands, Hungary, Italy, or Ireland.
